3.2.8 Reference Position

TPA-445/CREATED/T,A,R

The Reference position corresponds to the centre of the required pointing range for each TPM.

If the TPMs can be accommodated within the allowed envelope with the axes of rotation parallel to the X and Y axes then the requirement is determined by the adjacent thruster firing angle requirements. This configuration will be beneficial in minimising the TPM pointing range to +/- 14.5 degrees on each axis independantly with a wedge of 6.6 degrees.

If the TPM cannot be accommodated within the allowed envelope with the axes of rotation parallel to the X and Y axes then the angular coverage to provide the pointing needs to be a worst case of +/-17.0 degrees conical shape in the Y and the X axis with a wedge of 9.14 degrees. This orientation is shown below.

3.5.22 Thermal Performance Requirements

3.5.22.1 Radiative Thermal Interface

The TPMs are fully enclosed within the MTM engine bay: an MLI blanket located at the level of the TPM to SEPT interface ensures that there is no direct view between the TPMs and the SEPTs and the MTM main engine. In addition, this means that the TPMs do not have a direct view to space (for cooling purposes, for example). However, they never see any solar flux, either. Within the engine bay, a dedicated heat shield covers the hot parts of the main engine (see TPA-2814 ).

See also TPA-786 for interface operating temperatures plus margin

The MTM structure within the engine bay is also covered with MLI.

This MLI is supplied by the Customer via the MLI contractor, and configuration to be shown in ICD (TBC).
